MEET THE NEW ALRTA PRESIDENT

Grant Robins ImageMr Grant Robins was elected National President of the ALRTA at our Annual General Meeting in Melbourne on 7 August 2014.

Grant hails from Kulin almost 300km South East of Perth, WA. Grant owns and operates Kulin Transport which he started 26 years ago originally transporting fertiliser from rail.  In 2012 Kulin Transport sold its livestock crates and now concentrates on transporting other rural commodities including grain, fertiliser and lime.

Grant was President of the Livestock and Rural Transport Association of Western Australia (LRTAWA) for seven years.   Grant has been Vice-President of the Australian Livestock Transporters Association (ALRTA) for several years.  In 2013 he was elected to the Kulin Shire in WA’s wheat belt.  Grant is married with two children and enjoys boating and fishing in his spare time.

Grant has hit the ground running leading a meeting of the ALRTA Executive this week and plans to be in Brisbane in the first week of September to meet with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and the ALRTA’s National Sponsors NTI and BP.
